Mark H. sends this in: “OK, I get that Lolly is sneaking a peek at Polly with her ancient boyfriend / lover, and that Polly catches her at it. But is the last frame Lolly raising her hand for a turn? What happened to her engagement to Alistair?
Or is she vicariously joining in on the action?
This whole May (March?) / December thing seems to be one of McEldowney’s fixations. Kind of like Woody Allen…”
JMcAndrew sends in a few old Beetle Baileys, noting “Mort Walker was a weird guy.”
Putting some spring in his step?
Why would Sarge have done that? Or was this Beetle’s practical joke?
JMcAndrew: “At some point I’m going to write a thesis on all the homoeroticism in Beetle Bailey. This happens too often to be a coincidence. Here’s a sample.”
JMcAndrew: “I’ve been on somewhat of a Beetle Bailey kick lately but it really is a fascinating comic. This one is some nightmarish body horror on the level of David Cronenberg.”
And then there’s Sarge’s famous gourmand appetite:
JMcAndrew: “A 4000-gallon pot would have a diameter of 96 inches (8 feet) and a height of 140 inches (approximately 11.67 feet).” Would that cook properly?
No tour of Beetle Bailey would be complete without one in which Beetle slacks off:
JMcAndrew commented: “Apparently Beetle Bailey has been murdered and his body has been stuffed inside this filing cabinet. How else could he get inside of it and close the drawer?”
Boise Ed sends this in:
“(1) “Happy Easter”? Be joyful over an episode of ritual torture?
(2) Do kids really do the Halloween thing at Easter nowadays?”
We can’t entirely ignore Easter!
This may have been posted on a previous Easter. If so, it’s doubly a zombie comic.
Celebrating the end of tax season:
This one’s a real bell-ringer.
Is this just a comic channeling the “cats just sit there” meme, or is there more to it?
Posting the author’s Facebook post with his cartoon, just to show if you don’t get it, you’re not alone.
Phred sends this one in: “I cannot figure out why their office break is at a African water hole…”
Boise Ed sends this one in: “First, Dennis has always liked Gina (as opposed to Margaret), so why would he go to great lengths to avoid serving her? Also, if he’s out of product, why would he and the empty pitcher still be sitting there?”
